These are Great Rubber Boards

What is the best cutting board for a sharp knife? I have tested dozens of cutting boards from various makers in the US, Japan, and around the world. I have come to the conclusion that rubber cutting boards are the best cutting boards for your sharp knives. Rubber cutting boards are soft enough to cradle your knife's edge but tough enough to withstand daily use at home or in a professional setting.
In this video, I compare Asahi vs. Hasegawa cutting boards. Both make great cutting boards but have very different design philosophies. Asahi makes a wide range of sizes and focuses on using premium materials for their boards, while Hasegawa focuses on sophisticated designs. The results are spectacular. Consumers are now able to choose very different cuttings that achieve the same thing - keeping the sharpest edge for their knives.

The American rubber boards and the Hasagawa PE board, which is a different material, will dull your knives much much faster than typical wood board. In conclusion though, these boards only really make sense in the use case they were designed for, which is in restaurants and pro kitchens where they have laws and regulations that BAN then from using wood. The good rubber boards work about as well as wood, but not any better. The crappy rubber boards dull your knives very very fast.

    @@jackbolder5734 Sure! Well first off it is a great cutting board. I was worried it would be ‘grippy’ on the knife edge but it isn’t. Easy to clean, and I feel like it’s a perfect size. The one thing that is a little annoying is it will discolor after contact with oils in food. I’ve especially noticed it with meat and cheese. The oils will basically make the board appear wet where the oils came in contact. While washing it looks uniform in color, for example, but when dry there are slight darker blotches. Ad far as I’m aware this is purely cosmetic and it doesn’t bother me enough to try to ‘fix’. I’ll also say that I love the Hasagawa cutting board that I got as well. It doesn’t appear to be as susceptible to the same sort of discoloration (and evidently a quick application of bleach would remove any discoloration) , is lighter, and I like the textured surface. But I like that the Asahi is even more ‘buy it for life’ as you can sand down the surface if needed, to bring it back to original look or performance should anything too detrimental happen to it.

Some years ago you did a video on stropping with the Solingen paste, but I think a more complete update would be useful. I can get my knives plenty sharp on my Japanese 1000 grit water-stone using your methods, but it would be nice not to have to set it up to get the edge back to perfection when it starts to get just a little dull (or perhaps get even sharper than it is off the stone!).

    I have too and found that he's constantly pushing out false information. Like so often. These board for instance, even the companies who make them don't claim they "Save you edge better than wood." The most they claim is they wont dull your knives ANY MORE than wood. Which is true, because most synthetic/plastic boards dull much more than wood. Thats all. But I guess that's not as good for videos. I've found tons of things he claims about everything from stones and sharpening to knives and steels is wrong too. Quite annoying.

    I would say, if you are going to use something anti-slip under the cutting board, like the silicone mats in the video or some type of rubber mat, then I would save money and get the 15mm. The rubber/silicon mat will give you the extra cushioning and absorption of energy that you need. The most important thing is the preservation of your edge, which you will get regardless of board thickness. Just my 2 cents.

    Good stuff Ryky! My end grain suits my purposes for now, but I would like to try a rubber board some day. Rather than a mat or feet on the bottom of my board, I bought five suction cups, and put them on the counter where the corners and middle of the board would go, and put the board on top of the "nubs" on the top of the suction cups. They're grippy enough that it doesn't move, and the bottom of the board stays dry/off the counter. I think they were $0.45 each!

    These boards are designed for professional settings in restaurants where they are legally not able to use wood. Wood is superior cutting surface in every way. Some of these rubber boards dull knives 10x faster than wood. It's still better than hard plastic, especially for brittle Japanese knives, but as a home cook, it makes zero sense. They are expensive, ugly, heavy, stain easily, don't clean up easily, warp easily, not dishwasher safe... etc. etc. Buying these products for home using thinking they will preserve your edges or offer some other benefit like that is one of the worst more regrettable ways to waste money.

    ​ @jeffhicks8428 the outright banning of wooden utensils and boards that many areas have really hits a nerve for me. Fortunatly my county allows wood boards and utencils as long at the surface is "smooth, undamaged and easily cleanable, with no areas that can eaily collect and promote the growth of bacteria" Butcher Blocks are okay, Juice grooves are not. Walnut has strong natural antimicrobial properties (the trees "immune sysytem" more or less) End grain boards made hard woods with a closed grain (White Maple, Walnut, Cherry are the big three) that are properly maintained hold very little bacteria, do minimal damge to knives and resist gouging verry effectivly. To me it feels similer to breed specific pet laws. It is not the Pit Bull's fault that some people train them to fight. If a Health Departmend band Wooden boards and utincils as opposed to enforcing quality regulations, they may as well ban glassware(the rim can chip and therefore have a higer risck of spreading BTDs), soda guns(if the nozzle is not properly cleaned and dries, mold and bacteria could grow and therfore have a higher risk of causing sickness than bottled beverages), beer taps(see soda gun), restrooms(if not properly cleaned restrooms are havens for transmitting fecal matter between customers, and therefore greatly increase the risk of transmitting Hep A) and silverware( If not properly washed and sanitized can lead to direct mouth to mouth saliva exchange which carries the risk of transmitting nearly all viral and bactrial infection that can effect humans including but not limited to HPV, HepA and B, Herpes, Influenza, Covid19, SARS, Ebola and Polio). Sorry for my rant. I agree with the superiority of wood and feel that responible cooks are punished by laws that were made because companies want to increade profits by not maintaing and replacing equipment, overwork, under paying and under training staff, and counties want to save money by not maintaing and enforcing requlations. Cheeper and easier to say no wood allowd than to have an inspector ensure all equipment has been properly maintained...@@jeffhicks8428

    I already have two rubberderized cutting boards,, and gave one away as a gift to a friend who wants me to perpetually fix their chipped knives (the chips are smaller now). I use the things all the time because I do slip and chop the edge down through things - the rubber seems to catch it, and I have no chips. On sharpening and use: after two months of trying, I finally got an Ikea down to 115 BESS!! One test only - I decided to leave it at that. I like the knife because it's softer steel, and where an HRC 60 would chip with even the lightest touch against a pork chop bone, this one won't, so I can use it without fear. I stropped on Ryky's rolled buffalo, no compound. The thing I did differently was using very light strokes, carefully. So it was just Green Brick (love that stone) and stropping. With Green Brick alone, it was 300+ and I wanted to see if stropping only would get it sharp. It did. Don't laugh at a $39.99 for a set of three knives. If you've watched every single one of Ryky's videos twice (just kidding), you too can have a nicely sharpened and useful knife! I did not get paid for this comment, but Ryky, if you feel like sending me money, I'm OK with that.

    Just got my Yaxell Super Gou to 65 BESS on a rolled buffalo strop. That's after several uses, no stone involved, just strop (very lightly, no compound or spray, countdown from ten per side, nine per side, etc.). It's kind of cool to have a knife that you slice beef with, and stand there wondering if you've sliced, and the beef is in fact sliced. There is culinary art, too, in how to slice. It's almost an act of faith to just pull the knife with very little downward pressure. I'm discovering fried rice. Thinking of fish fried rice. Maybe I'll try for a "paella Valenciana" one day, with chicken and seafood. You can do anything with "fried rice".

    something for your Q&A vids. I have 2 Saji knives that are Takeshi Saji Rainbow Damascus Series Sujihiki and Santoku with blue # 2 core that I have used or a few years now that will need a first sharpening and polishing done to them. Sharpening is not the questioning but how can I get that polish back like from Saji on the clad with multiple layers of rust-resistant stainless steel, brass and copper? Maybe a tutorial on something similar on the high polish? Also what are the chances of getting a new matching saya for my Master Saji Rainbow Damascus Sakura Series Santoku 180mm knife? My wife doesn't hold the same value for these knifes like I do and we lost the saya during our move from Chicago to FL. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I cherish these knives and hope to pass down to our children. That's the most wonderful part about these Japanese knives, can be passed down for multiple lives if taken care of properly.

    Forgive me if this has been mention already, i did read down a ways the quickly skimmed for a ways and didnt see it mentioned. Alothough i enjoyed the assesment of color preference and while if that is how you would like to choose your boards in your home by all means go ahead, its your home, but the colors are a to help reduce cross contamination and should be kept standardized in a commercial kitchen. Yellow --- Raw Chicken --- Anything cut on this board must be fully cooked (150F-165F) in acordance with state and local health codes for salmonella bacteria. NEVER cut prepared ready to eat foods on Yellow Red --- Raw Meats --- For red meats or any meat that can be served at customers preferance ("Blue" 115F - "Well Done" 165F) Blue --- Seafood --- For allergy pourposes Green --- Vegetables --- No foods that are prone to carry bacteria(aka no meat) White/Tan(Natural) --- Fully prepared, ready to eat foods there are not rigid rules on use of these boards, they may be required depending on local Health Code Laws, many area don't currently require the use of a color coding system. The colord boards help remove uncertainty and can reduce the risk of cross contamination, however are no subtitud for proper training and maintain a safe and healthy work enviornment(understaffed, over worked and under equiped kitchens have a highter risk of food borne illness. In a home setting it is much easier to keep track of what the board has been used for and therefore mostly uncesessary to color code your boards. In general every time i cook at home I like to set up 2 boards, one on each side of my stove and designate one (right side for me) for ready to eat foods only. And I always put a raw chicken board in the sink immediatly after use and wash your hand and knife, No turning recipie pages, no fixing a drink, no answering the phone. Salmonella should not be taken lightly.

    Is there any reason to not use either the All-Natural Cutting Board Wax or the All-Natural Knife Handle Wax to reduce the cutting board staining likelihood? I can visualize that the waxes may make the cutting boards more likely to slip but a mat underneath may mitigate that.

    1 minute ago I am an amateur, but I have managed to collect about 1k of more mainstream Japanese knives. MY wife does her best to chip and dull them, so I have stones ( not higher polishing grades), but I'm learning ang getting better. I think I'm nuts, but while and after running on stone I tilt blade under my tap sink and let water run the length of blade. It's amazing. The way the water runs off shows me the consistency of the edge and if I missed any micro chips that I don't catch with eye but rear their face when I do a cutting test )sharp, but a snag). Am I nuts :) still learning and having fun doing it. If I could just get my Hungarian wife to respect a knife or use cheaper ones :) I'd be a happy camper.
